Pettit Paint Copper Bronze Hard Racing Paint, Quart - Non-Antifouling High-Gloss Hull Finish

Pettit Copper Bronze Hard Racing Paint is a non-antifouling hard racing finish designed for dry sailed boats or boats stored in non-fouling fresh water. Unlike Pettit's antifouling bottom paints, this formula contains no biocide and is built purely for performance and finish quality: it can be buffed to a high gloss, ultra smooth surface that reduces drag and gives a polished racing look below the waterline.

This Copper Bronze finish is suitable for use on fiberglass, wood, and steel hulls, making it a versatile choice across boat construction types. It is especially well suited to trailered boats, where the hull is not left in the water long enough to require antifouling protection. For application, Pettit recommends thinning with 120 brushing thinner for brush application or 121 spraying thinner for spray application, both sold separately.

Supplied in a one quart container, this racing paint is intended for boat owners who want a durable, smooth, high-gloss bottom finish without antifouling biocides.
